Chapter 52 Sending her husband to another woman's bed
When Shen Yuanwei heard this, her expression changed instantly.
She thought she could get away with it by pretending to be pregnant, but who knew that this dog emperor was so insidious?
She was not allowed to sleep with Xiao Lingzhao again, and the imperial physician was asked to wait for a month before checking her pulse. If there was no child, she would have to sleep with the emperor... No, who would want to sleep with the emperor who was 18 years older than her at such a young age? Could she wait another seven or eight years...
She lied about being pregnant because she didn't want to be involved with the emperor so early. Now the emperor doesn't allow her to sleep with Xiao Lingzhao anymore, so how can she get pregnant?
If she had known that this unexpected disaster would happen today, she would not have drunk the bowl of contraceptive soup in the morning.
I don't know if I can spit it out now if I dig my throat?
Shen Yuanwei lowered her head, feeling upset. Xie Junlin had already walked out of the room and left the courtyard.
As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Xie Junlin saw Xiao Lingzhao pacing back and forth.
Xiao Lingzhao also saw him at the first moment and hurried forward.
"emperor!"
Xie Junlin hummed.
Looking at this young and handsome general, Xie Junlin felt mixed emotions.
The circumstances of each person are so different.
There are useless people like him, who has been married for 18 years and has no children, and is ridiculed and mocked by others. There are also lucky people like Xiao Lingzhao, who got married last night and has a child today, which makes people jealous to death.
Xiao Lingzhao was so lucky. He became a father right after getting married. Everyone in the Xiao family was still immersed in the joy of his wedding. Next month, they would be preparing to welcome the arrival of his son...
He also wanted this kind of joy. He also wanted all the palace servants to kneel before him and sing joyfully, congratulating the emperor for having a successor, and congratulating the empress dowager for having a grandson to hold...
Unfortunately, he can only think about such a beautiful thing.
If Shen Yuanwei was really pregnant, he could only watch other families having children with envy. It would take another three to five years for him to get his turn.
"emperor……"
Xiao Lingzhao raised his head and looked at Xie Junlin cautiously. Seeing that Xie Junlin looked unhappy, he felt a little nervous.
He was afraid that Yuan Wei's words would offend the emperor.
Xie Junlin rubbed his brows and put away all his emotions.
He calmly told Xiao Lingzhao, "Your wife has already admitted it to me. She said that she has a unique power and that she cured your illness."
Xiao Lingzhao guessed it.
Because this is the emperor, the supreme ruler, who controls the world. This emperor must clarify one thing. How long can he and Yuan Wei hide? All he needs to do is threaten and intimidate Yuan Wei to make her confess everything.
Xiao Lingzhao immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"It's not that I intentionally concealed it from Your Majesty, but... Yuan Wei's power is easily coveted by others. I am worried that some powerful patients will do whatever it takes to take Yuan Wei away if they learn of her abilities. I am afraid that they will hurt Yuan Wei, so I concealed this matter..."
Xie Junlin's heart skipped a beat.
He knew very well that Ling Zhao's words were not directed at him, but he couldn't help but take it personally because he was guilty.
Because this "patient" who is in a high position of power and great strength has just been coveting Shen Yuanwei's ability!
He wanted to take Shen Yuanwei away at all costs and seize my wife by force!
Looking down at the general kneeling in front of him, and thinking about how deeply this general loved the girl in the room, Xie Junlin felt a little uncomfortable with his remaining conscience.
He wanted Xiao Lingzhao to fight for him to defend the territory, but he also shamelessly coveted his wife. How could he let Xiao Lingzhao down like this?
When he was carrying Xiao Lingzhao on his back, he forced Xiao Lingzhao's wife to bear him a child. When he was facing Xiao Lingzhao, he pretended to be a good monarch and made people swear allegiance to him until death.
Just by thinking about it, he felt that he was not worthy of Xiao Lingzhao's kneeling.
He walked forward slowly, held Xiao Lingzhao's arm tightly and helped him up.
Perhaps, he should tell Xiao Lingzhao what he was thinking.
Even if I tell him, it won't change his despicable and ugly behavior, but it's better to do it openly than to do it secretly behind people's backs...
Xie Junlin clenched his fingers tightly.
He took several deep breaths and spoke with difficulty, "Ling Zhao, I don't want to betray the friendship between you and me. I have a few words in my heart that I want to tell you..."
Just as he said this, the Queen Mother's voice suddenly came into his ears.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? I have people looking for you everywhere. Come here."
Xie Junlin's words came to an abrupt end, and he looked at his mother who had appeared out of nowhere.
Xiao Lingzhao bowed to the empress dowager from a distance and continued to wait for Xie Junlin to tell him what was in his heart.
Xie Junlin sighed.
It is difficult to say out loud that you covet someone else's wife. He finally started to speak but was interrupted by his mother. Now he no longer had the courage to speak again.
Xie Junlin had mixed feelings and shook his head, "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Xiao Lingzhao was a little puzzled. He didn't know why the emperor stopped talking halfway, but since the emperor didn't say anything, he couldn't force him to answer, so he could only nod.
Xie Junlin turned and walked towards Queen Mother Jiang.
After taking two steps, he turned around and saw Xiao Lingzhao trying to sneak into the yard to see Shen Yuanwei.
His eyes dimmed.
In the next month, he would not allow Ling Zhao and Shen Yuanwei to have any chance to be alone together again, and he would not let Shen Yuanwei force Ling Zhao to have a child.
"Ling Zhao, come with me."
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao had already sneaked to the edge of the courtyard gate and was about to jog in to see his wife when he was caught by the emperor.
He stopped stiffly and turned to look at the emperor.
Facing those dark eyes, he scratched his head and said with gritted teeth, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to talk to the Empress Dowager? Can I go in and see Yuan Wei while you are talking to the Empress Dowager? I am afraid that you have frightened her by interrogating her just now. I want to see her, just one look..."
Xie Junlin felt a little upset.
He thought, you go to see Miss Yuan Wei to coax her, and I go to see Miss Yuan Wei to scare her? You are not the only one in the world who likes her, others like her too, and they don't want to scare her to death.
Xie Junlin couldn't say it, so he could only say faintly, "Are you trying to show off to me that you are a good husband? Madam Xiao can't live without you, so you have to go and see her?"
Xiao Lingzhao looked puzzled.
What's wrong with the emperor? He has countless concubines in his harem, but he can't stand seeing the couple being so affectionate?
Xiao Lingzhao didn't dare to protest. He could only retract his foot that was about to step into the yard and reluctantly followed Xie Junlin away.
The group returned to Empress Dowager Jiang's hall. Xiao Lingzhao stood guard at the door. Xie Junlin and Empress Dowager Jiang walked in and sat down.
Queen Mother Jiang asked Xie Junlin in a voice that only they could hear, "If I hadn't interrupted you just now, would you have confessed to Xiao Lingzhao?"
Xie Junlin hummed.
Queen Mother Jiang slammed the table and scolded in a low voice, "Stupid! Are you trying to force him to rebel by confessing to him?"
Xie Junlin raised his eyes and looked at Queen Mother Jiang, "I haven't done anything to them yet, Ling Zhao won't rebel now."
Queen Mother Jiang stared at him, "You can't say that! If he gets desperate and shouts you out, the whole court will poke you in the back!"
Xie Junlin rubbed his brows and said, "If I don't confess, I can't face him."
Queen Mother Jiang knew that her son was a man of conscience and did not want to persuade him anymore.
She whispered, "At least don't tell him for the next two days. I've already thought of a solution for you. Madam Xiao is going to stay in the palace for the next two days. I'll find some women who are as beautiful as Madam Xiao to serve Xiao Lingzhao. When those women climb onto his bed, Madam Xiao will definitely be disappointed in him. Then you can take advantage of the opportunity and take Madam Xiao for yourself..."
Xie Junlin was stroking the ring on his thumb when he suddenly heard these words. He looked up at Queen Mother Jiang in surprise.
Queen Mother Jiang patted his arm and said, "I will help you deal with Xiao Lingzhao. You just wait to coax Madam Xiao."
Xie Junlin looked at Queen Mother Jiang with a puzzled look, "Mother, who do you think Xiao Lingzhao is? He has been able to keep himself clean for so many years, so how could he possibly bully the maids around the Queen Mother in the palace? He is not so lustful, nor is he so ignorant of his own life."
Queen Mother Jiang snorted and laughed, "What do you know? A man who has never tasted meat can of course resist. But when he has tasted meat and cannot be satisfied, and suddenly a beauty comes to seduce him, it will be difficult for him to resist."
Xie Junlin frowned, "No, others might, but Ling Zhao won't."
Queen Mother Jiang curled her red lips slightly.
Is that so?
If she lit some incense with other magical effects in Xiao Lingzhao's room, would Xiao Lingzhao still be able to control himself?
